BERA, or Brain Evoked Response Audiometry, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the brain’s electrical activity in response to sound stimuli. It is especially useful in assessing hearing in newborns, young children, and individuals who are unable to respond to conventional hearing tests.
By placing small electrodes on the scalp, the test records how sound signals travel along the auditory nerve to the brainstem. BERA helps detect hearing loss, neurological issues, and auditory pathway disorders with precision. It is safe, painless, and plays a crucial role in early hearing detection and intervention.
BERA, or Brain Evoked Response Audiometry, is an advanced, objective hearing test that evaluates how sound signals travel from the ear through the auditory nerve to the brainstem. This test is especially beneficial for individuals who cannot provide reliable behavioral responses to traditional hearing tests — such as newborns, infants, individuals with developmental delays, or unconscious patients.
